TBGKon Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 So stupid that the Oil and the Bolts are using their old 3rd jerseys. You JUST changed you identity, and you use your old logo's/colours?You really think they teams WANTED to do this? It must have been some kind of legal agreement, otherwise they wouldn't be forced to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 They aren't using what is above. If you look on the Winter Classic site (http://www.nhl.com/ice/eventhome.htm?location=/winterclassic/2012) you see the retro version of the Rangers shield they are using. I've also seen the arch Rangers text in some official medium so my guess they are going to go with a white (or cream) version of the 46-47 uniforms. Where?

Teams are obligated to wear their gear a certain number of times, so they probably just picked a game that they figured wouldn't get that much attention.

Lightning "Bolts" Alternate: Worn for 3 seasons, entering it's 4th.Oilers Alternate: Worn for 5 excruciating, retina searing seasons.So whats the minimum requirement then? Call me cynical but I think Reebok is just trying to unload it's unwanted products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well of course they're trying to unload products, that's kind of their job. I don't know the rule, but it may have to do also with how much notice the team gave that they were dumping them. If Reebok had already produced some to sell this year by the time they were told, then that could be it.

It was the Home jersey for three seasons, the alternate for 2 (Last year they used the Retro look at Home without a matching Road).Either way it's time for it to go.

tubby34 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think it has to do with notice and the minimal amount of years they have to wear it. The Panthers Baby Blue Alt is going on it's third year, while they don't want to wear it, they are forced to wear it for 13 games. They are trying to wear it on the road and asking other teams to wear white in those games- so they don't ruin their identity at home (Twitter Motto/ Team Slogan is #WeSeeRed). I would bet they need 3 years of wearing it, and atleast 1 season notice of a change to stop producing the jersey for retail and clear stock.

hockey week Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 honestly? I'd wear one just as a conversation piece. Though the Flyers fake is much better imo. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Stupid if they think it is the real deal...but it is a sweet looking jersey, and probably way better than what they will end up wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison, the old one with red outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I remember being at the Joe in the late 90s and there were people with baby blue Red Wings jerseys. I know it must have just been some fashion jersey- like the black Wings one- but wow was that FUGLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The royal blue Penguins jerseys they did worked nicely, though. (Little did I know at the time...)

The Panthers in yellow wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
